indygeek Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Is there anyway to use this software with the usb Apple Keyboard? I am running vista on my MacBook Pro 17". I use the external Apple Keyboard when ever I am at my desk working. With this keyboard the fn key doesn't work, the eject key is not recognized (f13 does eject from the external keyboard) and when you hit the clear key the num lock will come on but it also sets some of the regular keys to numbers. example... when you hit i on the keyboard you get the number 5. I worked around the num lock by setting the table to macbook pro instead of the macbook pro num lock. I tried to create my own mappings but the eject and fn don't seem to get recognized.

indygeek Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 The keyboard works fine under OSX. I am attempting to get it working correctly under Vista. it was working find under XP with standard boot camp drivers but my hdd crashed and i had to replace the drive. This time under boot camp I installed vista but when running the installer from my 10.5 dvd it fails to start keyagent service so the boot camp drivers failed. I found this as an alternitive to the boot camp drives but the external keyboard doesn't quite work right.
